Damn you, Willis! (Dumbing of Age)

Kugai:
One can only hope she's here for Billy


Otherwise, this could get ugly real fast.

CrowFairy:
Even if she is there for Billie, it could end really badly. Her girlfriend, who can't legally drink, is not only drinking in the dorm but is also distributing it to other people who can't legally drink. I know they kind of fell off the wagon together, but drinking and distributing is not the kind of thing she needs to find Billie doing.

explicit:
She probably should have looked the other way then. She knew Billie was going to be there and, let's be honest, Ruth should know that Billie is going to be the one who would bring that stuff.

Ya, it's her job, but ignoring things seemed like the appropriate thing to do here.

BenRG:
RUTH: "BROWN! Who brought alcohol to this party?"

JOYCE: "Um... I don't kn...?"

SARAH: "I think that you'll find it was Miss Billingsworth. When I went to the bathroom, everyone was sober; when I come back, there are several drunks. Wilcox says that he got it from Billingsworth and she admitted it. I want her punished."

JOYCE (hissing whisper): "Sarah! No!"

Ooh! What a dilemma for Ruth to be in! Will anyone narc Billie out? If so, will she have the courage to punish her secret girlfriend/co-dependent substance abuser? If everyone keeps the code of Dormitory Omerta and Ruth punishes all of them, will Billie be able to let everyone take lumps for her or will she 'fess up? If she does, what does Ruth do?

It's possible that Ruth will just punish everyone harshly in a flat-footed attempt to cover up her relationship with Billie (as well as an attempt to impress her girlfriend with her power over her). Not being read into the secret and in a fit of her usual civil-minded activism, Dorothy then appeals to the Board of Administrators over the unfair harshness. The resulting investigation has the potential to expose Billie and Ruth's relationship. Even if it doesn't, Ruth's harsh and excessive behaviour comes under an uncomfortable spotlight.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ruth and Billie's relationship is about to enter a serious and potentially terminal crisis. Willis has confirmed that no-one dies in DoA, so it unlikely that any crisis will reach my personal worst-case scenario - Ruth and Billie killing each other as part of their pre-exisiting 'sexy lesbian suicide pact' (their words). However, I could see Ruth losing her job over this and being put on a bus. That might lead to an interesting Billie character arc; I wonder if she might end up needing Joyce to bring her back from the brink?

I also wonder just how the Browns will react to being told by the college that Joyce has been accused of hosting a drunken Bacchanal in her dorm room! :-P

Regarding Dina and Becky, I wonder if Becky realises that she's about to become the subject of a sociology experiment. Having a relationship with Dina would take a very special mindset to get around her unique perception of humanity and social interaction. You'd never know if she really was into you or if it would be empirical experimentation. It's sort of like dating Lt Cmdr Data from Star Trek - The Next Generation!

[EDIT]
A thought that just occurred to me: Ruth either works out Becky is homeless or just throws her out on the street as it's late and the party is over. Naturally, she makes sure she doesn't have a pass-key to get back in afterwards. Sal comes back to find Joyce sitting on the steps to the hall, crying her eyes out. She asks what's going on and gets the chance to display both her soft side and her ruthless side.

Yes, I'm suggesting that Becky starts staying in Sal's room. When Ruth tells her that she can't do this, Sal points out that she wouldn't be able to if Billie wasn't 'elsewhere' every night. Would Ruth like to report this matter to the Administrators or would she let Sal do so? It might be interesting to see how Sal responds to having some blackmail to keep Ruth in her pocket. It would be interesting to see how Ruth reacts to having her position and authority so fatally and totally compromised! :-D

94ssd:
Can RAs really just barge into your room without being let it? I mean, yeah they have a key, but...
